Intel: 32 nm on track for late 2009

Intel Corp. remains on track to deliver its first 32nm processors before the end of the year. The update came as part of a conference call previewing some of the papers the processor giant will present at next week's International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

"The 32 nm technology is getting ready to go into the manufacturing phase, we are lining up fabs to support it and we expect great demand," said Mark Bohr, director of Intel's technology and manufacturing group. "We are on track for shipping products in the fourth quarter and have 22 nm technology in development for 2011," he said.
